Why are so many Trump supporters attracted to the JFKA?

[Tom Graves]

False premise.  There are just a lot of Trump supporters.  Over 50% of the voters. Which is why he won the election.  U-S-A, U-S-A.

Is that why his approval rating is so high?

LP-

I regard Biden as having been weak in the Ukraine war. I don't remember all the details, but there were all sorts of restrictions on Kyiv, such not firing missiles into Russia. The Biden and euro-weaklings seemed to live in daily dread of a nuke war. They visibly cowered before Putin.

The only narrative I can construct to "excuse" Biden and Trump is this: What the US national security state really wanted was a long stalemate in Ukraine, one that would drain down Russia. If so, this plan has worked better than anyone could have hoped. Russia will need decades to recover the catastrophe Putin has inflicted upon them.

From what I read, Trump still provides intel to Ukraine and has sold weapons through Europe to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Trump has destroyed Russian allies in Syria, Venezuela, Iran and possibly soon Cuba. Biden would have done none of that.

Some say, "Look at what Trump does, not his showmanship."

I am dubious about Trump's character. Not a Trump fan.

But if Trump topples the IRGC, I will forgive him all sins.

And Russia will be weaker than ever when that happens.

Is Trump a friend of Putin? Not sure.

Obama sent them blankets.  So they should be warm.  He also sent Iran a plane load of cash.  Something around $400 million.  That worked out well. LOL. Trump makes the right policy decisions more often than not.  Iran is a longstanding problem dating back five decades.  Jimmy Carter should have brought down the hammer when they took diplomats hostage.  An act of war.  Their takeaway from that was that the US was weak and all they had to do is give it a slow roll.  Trump is a new sheriff in town.  Not Barney Fife but Gary Cooper.  Russia and Ukraine is a longstanding regional conflict.  It will play out soon.  The US has done more than its part.

Who cares?  He is president and Kamala/Hillary are not.  If nothing else, Trump spared us an unmitigated disaster of a Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton presidency.  That would have been the end game for the US.  Even with our media working overtime to undermine Trump, he still won.  The lunatics don't always control the agenda.  Even if they are loud and destructive.  Thankfully we still have some sane people.

ME: What percentage of the people who voted for Trump in 2024 now disapprove of his job performance?

GROK: Approximately 20-25% of people who voted for Trump in 2024 now give him a negative (disapprove) job approval rating.

I do not know if there is a strong correlation between believing in a JFK conspiracy and supporting Trump. It is certainly not uncommon, on this board, for people to believe there was no conspiracy in the JFK assassination, as I do, but do support Trump, which I do not.

About 50% of the electorate voted for Trump so why should anybody be surprised if roughly the same percentage of JFKA buffs support him?

The real danger is if the Democrats ever gain control of the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives which they probably will. When that happens, they will end the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, and grant statehood to DC and Puerto Rico, making it very difficult for the GOP to take back the Senate. They will then be able to ram through their radical agenda. It almost happened in 2020 but we were lucky to have a couple sane Democrats in Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema to prevent that from happening. The only one we have now is John Fetterman and I don't think he will be enough to stop all this if the Democrats get 51 senators.
